Tips

"... The Itter (also called Itterbach) is a right or eastern tributary of the Rhine in the Bergisches Land in North Rhine-Westphalia. Its name probably comes from Latin-Indo-European, because itera means “the water from the heights”.

The stream rises in the Bergisches Land. The so-called “Holy Born” near the Grünewald house or the Bandesmühle in Solingen-Gräfrath is interpreted as its source. From here, the Itter flows through the Ittertal with its amusement park of the same name (including a carousel from 1920) in a westerly direction.

Numerous water mills, cottages and hammer mills accompany the Itter in this valley cut (Neuenkotten, Bastianskotten, Ernenkotten, the Breidenmühle, the Heidberger Mühle and the Bruchermühle). The Itter also forms the border between Solingen and Haan. The Ittertal is followed by Caspersbroich Castle and the railway embankment on the Cologne-Wuppertal route, before the Itterbach now enters the less hilly Hildener Heide. After the Itter flows through the city of Hilden, the Horster volumes are flushed with the Horster mill. The stream, greatly straightened from Hilden, now reaches Benrath, where it supplies the ponds and ponds of the famous Benrath Castle with water before flowing underground into the Rhine southwest of the castle park coming from the east. A small part branches off to the left and south-southwest in the park and flows over the Urdenbach village green as the so-called Alte Itter to the Urdenbach Old Rhine. ..."
